Why do you boil water to make iced tea?
Well iced tea is exactly tea needed to be drawn with the tea bags or leaves for the flavor and for the addition of purified or filtered waters. Hot water draws out more flavors than cold water, and quicker as well. Use a glass jug and add the amount of tea bags needed and some hot water, leave to draw then dilute with colder water and store in glass bottles or jug.
How long can you keep homemade iced tea?
Homemade iced tea infused with sugar may be kept chilled for about 5-7 days before it also ferments. Make enough that it is drank in a few days for a refreshing cold drink in the summer.
Can you freeze homemade iced tea?
Yes, you can freeze homemade iced tea for future use. There are different ways to do it, such as pour the made iced tea into ice cube trays and freeze these. Once frozen place in a zip lock bag and keep frozen for when needed. This way you would not have to brew a new batch every time you need the cold drink. Keeping in mind that chilled they can ferment because of the sugar added. But not with freezing. Even keep in a bottle and almost bring to room temperature until needed.
